12: Be good and let me see!

Let alone the disciples watching the commotion, even the elders in the stands couldn't react in time.

This included the Long-Bearded Elder who had previously favored Ye Chen.

He had originally felt that it was a pity Ye Chen hadn't secured first place, and his performance in the fight against Chu Xuan was subpar.

However, his earlier performance had been quite good; with proper guidance, he could certainly become a talent.

But what was happening now???

Could it be that he truly lost the competition and, unable to accept it, had gone mad?

If that were the case, the matter of Ye Chen would need careful consideration. One must know that besides talent and effort, one's state of mind is also crucial in cultivation.

Because of such a trivial matter, he...

“I’ve got good stuff here, cultivation techniques and pill recipes, come on, take a look.”

Ye Chen approached Chu Xuan with a strange grin and grabbed him.

The deacon intended to maintain order. Just as he was about to act, he suddenly received a sound transmission from Shen Qing.

Shen Qing: “It’s fine, just watch for now. Let’s see what Ye Chen is up to.”

The deacon hesitated: “This...”

Shen Qing: “They’re both in the Spirit Vein Realm; they won’t kill each other. Aren’t you curious what Ye Chen is going to do?

“If the elders blame you, I’ll take responsibility.”

Since Senior Brother Shen had said so, the deacon could only nod: “Alright then.”

He couldn't afford to offend the elders, nor could he offend Senior Brother Shen.

Since he had said so, he would just watch for now. Besides, he was indeed quite curious about what would happen next.

Thus, Senior Brother Shen and the deacon immediately agreed.

Watch the show!

“Let go of me!”

How could Chu Xuan possibly just surrender like that?

Rather, if he didn't resist now, he felt he might lose something very important.

But!

Who could tell him why Ye Chen's strength had suddenly increased so much? He was like a completely different person compared to during their match!

“Slap!”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he knocked Chu Xuan down with a punch.

Chu Xuan, sprawled on the ground, was filled with disbelief.

This must be fake, right?

He wasn't like this just now!

Ye Chen said, “Be good, let me see!”

Chu Xuan: “See your mom...”

Before he could finish, Ye Chen delivered another punch.

“Rip!”

Then, in front of everyone, he ripped off his own upper garment, revealing his slightly lean body for all to see.

The crowd below gasped in unison.

They hadn't expected such an unexpected bonus from watching the competition.

Who would believe that Young Master Ye had a penchant for men?

“You guys, do you think Ye Chen’s previous pursuit of Ye Qinghe was just a cover-up?”

“Highly likely. After all, if his father knew about this hobby, he’d definitely break his legs.”

Even the elders in the stands shook their heads. Some wanted to laugh but felt it inappropriate.

“The Ye family is making a fool of themselves now.”

As for stopping him?

Ahem.

It's just a competition; a little friction is normal.

As elders, they should trust that the disciples can control themselves and not cause any deaths.

“Junior Brother, are you recording this with an image-recording stone?”

Senior Brother Shen, who was watching the show, noticed someone next to him recording everything with an image-recording stone.

Not only was he recording, but he was also smiling particularly slyly.

The disciple recording saw that it was Senior Brother Shen and quickly composed himself: “Senior Brother Shen.”

Senior Brother Shen: “It’s fine, you continue. I was just asking.”

The disciple recording breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and then said, “Senior Brother, this is a business opportunity.”

Senior Brother Shen: “A business opportunity?”

“There are many Star Sect disciples, but only a small fraction came to watch the competition. But if this matter gets out, do you think those who didn’t come will be curious about what happened today? By then...”

At the end of his sentence, he chuckled “Hehe”.

When he went back, he would make several copies of the content in this image-recording stone and sell them later.

“Hmm, not bad, you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep it up.” Senior Brother Shen patted his shoulder.

Encouraged, the disciple recording became even more enthusiastic: “Yes!”

“Ye Chen, what the hell do you want to do?!”

Ye Chen chuckled, “I want to, I really want to.”

Chu Xuan watched in horror as Ye Chen made a grand display, spreading his wings like a small roc, openly and brazenly in the Martial Arts Arena, in front of all the disciples and elders, facing the setting sun... “This...”

The junior brother recording raised his hand, making a pinching gesture with two fingers.

“This little sprout has the nerve to pull off something like this?”

He was greatly disappointed.

The content of the image-recording stone wasn't sensational enough this way.

Chu Xuan’s younger brother was no longer worried about Chu Xuan’s safety: “Ye Chen... can he even do it?”

The others burst into laughter, and for a moment, the entire competition venue was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

The effect of these glasses exceeded Senior Brother Shen's expectations.

It was too good.

Unfortunately, it was a one-time use item.

At this moment, Senior Brother Shen’s thoughts stirred; someone was looking for him via a communication talisman.

An ancient yellow talisman flew out from his storage ring, suspending itself in front of Senior Brother Shen. He walked to the side, to a less crowded area, and sent a wisp of his divine sense into the communication talisman.

“Senior Brother!” Ning Zhenzhen’s voice immediately came through, “Where did you go? Why aren’t you home?”

She complained, evidently having gone to look for Senior Brother Shen but couldn't find him.

Senior Brother Shen replied, “I’m watching the Outer Sect Competition.”

“Competition?” Ning Zhenzhen sounded a bit bored: “That’s so uninteresting.”

A moment later, she said, “I’m coming to find you!”

“No, absolutely don’t come.” Senior Brother Shen stopped her.

“Hmm?” Ning Zhenzhen asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“The situation here is a bit... hard to describe.”

It wasn't that Senior Brother Shen didn't want to see Ning Zhenzhen; it was truly unsuitable for his junior sister to witness what was happening here, it would give her an eyesore.

“Isn’t a competition just fighting? What’s so hard to describe about it?” Ning Zhenzhen pouted: “You’re looking down on me, I’m going to tell on you.”

Break up!

One... half an hour!

Senior Brother Shen had no choice but to briefly tell her what Ye Chen and Chu Xuan were doing.

“Ah?” A very obvious and disgusted “Eww~” came from Ning Zhenzhen’s end.

“He, didn’t he like your Ye Qinghe? How could he...” Ning Zhenzhen fell silent for a moment, then left a message: “I’ll wait for you at your place.”

Then the communication cut off.

At this moment.

In Senior Brother Shen’s small courtyard.

Ning Zhenzhen put away the communication talisman, retched a little, and transformed into a white, two-tailed fox. She pushed off with her hind legs, leaped onto Senior Brother Shen's bed, and after a few steps, chose a comfortable spot and lay down.

Outer Sect Competition.

Chu Xuan’s clothes were disheveled, but thankfully, Ye Chen hadn't succeeded in his intentions.

The elders and deacons couldn't bear to watch any longer and stopped Ye Chen.

“Slap!”

A young deacon slapped Ye Chen across the face.

No matter how powerful the remnant soul was, he was ultimately only at the Spirit Vein Realm cultivation, and he was immediately knocked unconscious by the deacon.

Then, the deacon who knocked him out regretted it.

He knocked him out, so he was responsible for sending him back.

Send Ye Chen back!

The deacon felt bitter. He was afraid Ye Chen would wake up halfway, not having had his fill, and try to do something to him. Although he didn’t have a Dao companion, he definitely wasn’t interested in men.

If he were to be defiled by Ye Chen... how would he ever find a Dao companion in the future?

Thinking of this, he hit him a bit harder, ensuring Ye Chen wouldn't wake up before reaching his residence.

“Thump!”

There was a slap mark on each cheek, left and right, and he gave his forehead another tap for good measure.

The force was just right: dazed but not brain-damaged.
